I've been reading about the London riots since I got home from work this evening. Gobsmacked that something like that could happen, in a world capital, particularly London, of all places. I hope everyone there is staying safe. These are scary times.

One link that I see floating around quite a bit is this Guardian article from September of last year, where the Home Secretary defends cuts to the police budget. Yeah, that apparently worked out real well.
